New: the Polite/Friendly switch. Sen with friends, siz with officials, always right. 20 categories, all offline.
Çay gets you speaking Turkish from the moment you land. Real phrases for the bazaar, the dolmuş, the lokanta and the beach, with natural audio and the right level of politeness every time. Free to start.
Most language apps teach textbook Turkish in one stiff register. Then you land in Istanbul and everything is warmer, faster and friendlier. You do not need a grammar course. You need to haggle in the Grand Bazaar, order çay like a local, and say thank you so it sounds like you mean it.
THE POLITE/FRIENDLY SWITCH
Turkish changes with respect: sen with friends, siz with officials. Flip one switch and every phrase that depends on it rewrites itself, wording and audio together, so you always sound right. Border and police phrases stay polite automatically. No other phrasebook does this.
20 REAL-WORLD CATEGORIES
Bazaar and Bargaining, Taxi and Dolmuş, Istanbul Transit, Çay and Kahve, Restaurant and Lokanta, Street Food and Markets, Hamam and Barber, Mosques and Culture, Beach and Coast, Ferries and Day Trips, Hotel, Directions, Small Talk, Nightlife, Dating, Emergency and more. Over 620 phrases for real situations.
HEAR IT, THEN SAY IT
Tap any phrase for clear native-style audio at full or slow speed, with a plain sounds-like line under every phrase. Turkish is phonetic once you know six letters. Our 60-second guide proves it.
SHOW THE DRIVER
Turn any phrase into a giant full-screen Turkish card you can show a taxi driver, a shopkeeper or a hotel desk when saying it feels like too much.
MADE FOR THE TRIP
Search in English, sounds-like or Turkish. Heart favourites into a cheat sheet. Practice mode quizzes you on what you saved. Everything works offline, no account, no login.
Çay is free to download and explore, and the Greetings category is free forever, audio included. A free 7-day trial unlocks every category, all audio and Practice.
